JET Program: Tokyo Orientation - Step by Step Guide with Video Footage | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Follow me on social media to see stuff I do in Japan that I don't post on YouTube! So it's been a long time coming, but I've finally created a video that talks about the orientation in Tokyo that JET participants will have to take part in. Please comment or email me at fahadinjapan@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Hey Fahad, how much was your extra check in luggage in the US?
-
You said you guys took a direct flight. Did the Program pay for the flight?
-
Is it a must to learn Japanese to take part of the JET program or is it beneficial ?
-
Hey man, I have a question for you! I'll be a JET this coming year in Miyagi prefecture, and one of my biggest concerns (beyond not having enough starting cash) is what sort of preparations should I make while I'm here? Are there any forms, paperwork, or other things that you wish you knew before you left? I want to make sure I do everything I can before I head over to Japan in 3 weeks. Thanks! Love the vids
-
These JET videos are very informative Fahad, thank you for making them! I'm personally a long way off from applying, but it's nice to know what to prepare for/expect.
-
This was incredibly helpful/informative! Grats on your placement. I got put in a cold, bleak, treeless craphole. Drain a 40 for me.
-
Are you going to make more videos about your JET experience? They're super interesting and helpful!
-
Great video, Fahad! I'm short listed and currently waiting for my placement, so the only thing I can really be sure about is orientation since everything else is ESID. Your videos are keeping me sane! Hahahaha
-
Thank you for this video, I got accepted so I'm leaving this July and I'm really excited! I have a question though, does JET provide a place to stay the night prior to your flight? Because you know, there is the mandatory ore-departure orientation and you fly the next day.
-
This was a great video, very informative! Question: do you get to see pictures of your apartment before arriving in Japan?
-
Thank you so much for making this video! So many useful things, especially the part about the jet people taking your big suitcases to your apartment already, to dress appropriately when traveling to your city and paying rent up front when signing the contract. Applying for the JET program from the Netherlands, only 3 positions available (2 ALT and 1 CIR). Enjoy the rest of your stay :)

Hi Fahad, thanks for making all these videos. They have been really helpful and inspiring. I was just wondering if you can make a video about the financial aspect of the JET Program?

@22:00 the asian guy in the tank top teaches english in hiroshima and makes bodybuilding videos on youtube! Did you two happen to know eachother :0?

That customs thing is pretty standard when going to another country.. I had to fill one out when I came here to China. Although, I left the info in my suitcase and the guy was like... "whatever.. just put down the name of whoever you're staying with." guess that won't fly in Japan, but in China, most don't care about rules/regulations and certainly not traffic laws. Thanks for the vid

I can't reply to Mimi Banh's comment, but no I didn't get my own room! I had to share with two other people, although the room was quite big.
-
I've always been curious about the times and schedule in regards to applying for JET and the Japanese academic year? What's the academic year and when should people start applying/ how long does the process take?
-
Did you get your own hotel room at keio plaza hotel?
-
Do you find halal food easily in there ?
-
Oh man, this just makes me want to go so much more!
Great info! I haven't seen anyone mention this kind of content before. ^.^ -
Good information!
However, what people need to keep in mind is that everyone's situation will be different.
I ordered Japanese Yen through my home back in the US. It was super simple. Now, the US Dollar does get you more yen so that is good for all the new people coming this summer.
